A great spaghetti dinner for around 2.00 for 3 people. Start with a dollar can of spaghetti sauce at most walmart's, dollar stores and other outlets. There are a few to choose from. Use del monte or hunts brand if you can find it. Also buy a box or bag of your favorite pasta for a buck, you can find these easily. You will also need a jar of Italian seasoning from walmart, these are 50 cents each. in a pot mix the sauce, about 2 teaspoons of seasoning, 4 packs (two teaspoons of sugar)(more if you'd like), and 3/4 cup water. Simmer for about 20 minutes. The sugar helps speed up the sweetening process that usually takes hours to do. While you are doing this, in another pot bring enough water to boiling to cook half the box/bag of pasta. When the pasta is done strain and put in a 2 quart casserole, add the sauce, mix thoroughly, cover, and heat in a microwave for 6 minutes. this will thicken it up and add more flavor. when it's done you should have enough for 3 good serving of pasta, two for big eaters.That's it, around twenty minutes from start to finish, and cheap. Don't forget the Parmesan cheese.
total cost, 1dollar sauce, 50 cents pasta, 7 cents seasoning, 3 cents sugar, 15-25 cents Parmesan. Enjoy.
